50 Best Taco Restaurants near Helotes

“Best breakfast tacos ever. They are very affordable considering how much food they give you. They don't skimp like Chipotle or Bill Millers! It's not just the good portion sizes, these tacos are so flavorful. Worth the 30 min drive for me.“

“Just wanted to do a major shout out thank you to the staff working on Sunday morning April 14th 2024 for finding my purse and holding on to it until I could return 4-5 hours later after I played golf. All items were still there including all my cash. Honest and hard working person ?“

“Yummy yummy yummy. Their taco set up is different but welcomed. How so? Since I learned of breakfast tacos almost a year ago they usually come wrapped in foil but Taco Capital puts your tacos in a cute carry out box. I got a 6 pack of Egg and Bacon. $9.99 I enjoyed them and so did my husband. Looking forward to my next visit. ???“

“This taco truck was absolutely delicious! My husband and I were visiting San Antonio and found this place. Their tacos are amazing, probably some of the best tacos I’ve had in San Antonio. I have not had tacos that good in a long time. The tortillas that they use for their tacos are the cherry on top for me. We tried the tacos with the queso and our choice of filling. Their lemonade was very good too!“

“We weren't able to catch his name but the cook/cashier was amazing! He gave us a few samples of the meat which helped our choices on what to get. He kept a smile on his face and was very sweet. Not only was the service amazing but the food was absolutely delicious! We got the chicken quesadilla and it was a very filling meal! 10/10 food and 10/10 service, I would give more than 5 stars if it was possible! Will definitely be returning!“

“My friends and I enjoyed our dinner while being in a great atmosphere. Our server John ensured we had what we needed during our time there. Whether that was sharing his knowledge about the menu or simply providing a refill in a timely manner. I would definitely come back!“

“Me and my fiancé love the food here especially the Birria pizza! Well anything Birria is really good we haven’t tried the other food yet but I bet it’s just as delicious! And every time we come the service is always great never fails to always cater to our needs and always very nice“

“The place is clean, the service was great, and the staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered to go inside, and the food came out quickly. I tried the trash can taco, the cheese enchiladas, and the huevos rancheros. Tortillas were light and fluffy and were made fresh in-house. I noticed they have a great team behind the counter and in the kitchen. The parking lot is huge, but it is shared with other businesses. I would recommend ordering to go.“

“Currently on a quest to find the finest tacos in the Northwest/West region. I've have tried numerous options, and so far these currently stand out as the best. The prices are quite reasonable, and the campechana tacos with the green sauce are simply delicious. The frijoles charros are really tasty too.“

“It’s difficult to find a good taco spot in San Antonio especially if you’re looking for a good tasting carne asada style taco. The waitress/manager/owner was kind enough to let my family try all the meats before we purchased I thought that was amazing customer experience. I will be “

“Amazing service! I came in here for a school project having never been before, and I am absolutely certain I will be coming back. I got 6 taquitos, soup, a 12’’ taco, a drink with refills and bean and cheese taco (not in the picture) all for 16$. Amazing staff, overall great experience, would definitely recommend!“

“Omg. Amazing. I showed the guy a picture of someone else’s review, said that’s what I wanted and asked what it was and he told me it was a salad! The Mexican Cobb salad or something. I usually don’t like salads but this was protein PACKED. I got a corn and flour tortilla on the side for .69 each. They also give an active duty military discount. So good, definitely going back and I already have my regular order ready.“

“Food was the best I have tasted in the area. I have visited several other taco trucks on Potranco(outside 1604) and their birria is my favorite. We tried the asada quesadia and it was good as well. Hot sauce was great as well. I would definitely be visiting again to try the birria quesadia.“

“The atmosphere changes from day to day. I totally love it!!! One night it's karaoke, the next live band, then u have the dj, and u can't forget about the beautiful bartenders. Come check it out. It's worth the listening pleasure.“

“We stopped at this little “dive” bar to end our night while in San Antonio to attend our son’s graduation from Airforce BMT. We just planned on a beer and something little to pick on so we ordered a HALF order or a mess fries with jerk chicken … let me tell you, I’d be nervous to see a full order! There was more than enough to share between my husband and myself! And sooooo yummy!!! The bartender was sweet and quick with service. The sitting area out front was so cute with big tree limbs hanging over all lit up and plenty of outdoor seating. Looks like it would be a fun little place to see live music.“

“Pack your bags and immediately go to El Monte for the best BBQ that you’ll be tasting. Tender, juicy, smoky, and did I mention tender? It was Easter Sunday. They were open for another hour. We were hungry. We headed there after some birding at Government Canyon State Natural Area. No yellow-cheeked warblers today, but we were okay with it because we did get ribs, sausage, Barbacoa tacos with fresh tortillas, creamed corn, and coconut cake at El Monte’s BBQ. The owner and staff were so friendly. The owner even showed us the smoker, which his dad had made from a propane tank in 1978. Having this history to go along with the meal was really special. The owner even gave us some brisket burnt ends to try. Wowza!!! I’ve tasted nothing like this in my life. The smoke was perfect. The seasoning was right on. Thank you El Monte!!“

“I visited Tacos Panda for the first time on a Friday night and went right back the next day because it was so good! I’d go again today, but it’s closed Sundays. We tried the street tacos, torta, burrito, burger, and hot dog. The best ones were the alambre street tacos. Highly recommend. Their creamy chipotle salsa was very good. I hope they add a creamy green salsa to the menu. The food smells great, tastes even better, and is not extremely salty. I met Panda and he was super nice and friendly. We’re definitely going to become repeat customers. Awesome place!“

“Taquitos Taquitos !! I've tried different taco trucks in the past but after I came across this one I needed not to look any further - the prices are reasonable service is quick and food very fresh - you are able to call ahead if you wish - try them out“

“if you are looking for real Mexican flavor, man ive been eating this tacos since they open outside the firestone on culebra close to Goodwill. well the birria is out of this world one of the best birrias 5 miniquesi birrias (bien servidas) topped with tons of meat dont let the size fool you they will get you full including the consome wich most of the time comes with tons of chunks of meat also. but the one you need to try are tacos de cabeza ( head tacos) one of the best in San Antonio they also have their trompo al pastor . aguas fresca, mexican sodas and the prices are great. overall 10 out of 10 hands down the best around culebra qnd 1604. easy in and out.“

“This place was so tasty and trendy! This was a nice spot that made ordering easy and received my food rather quickly. The food was fresh and hit different palate notes salty, spicy, savory, crispy and crunchy! Putting that egg on the dish was decedent just topped it off for me! I was glad to have had that dish. Parking was easy.“

“Everything was on point??? soooo delicious ? from the street tacos of asada to the Giant torta de Asada! Had to top it off with a cup of corn and a cup of frijoles ??? and a desert fresas con crema?? ?? this place makes me, my husband and my belly so happy ???????? ????? Gracias! ?“

“a phenomenal hole in the wall! the food was amazing as i ordered the birria combo and the flavor was WONDERFUL! the servers were so nice and hospitable, as they also took my friend and i's polaroid picture towards the end :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“My favorite taco truck for sure! The mini tacos here are awesome! They give you a little cup of charro beans while you wait for your order and they are delicious! Its a husband, wife, son and daughter working here, so love that its a family owned truck. Love this place ❤️“

“Great truck! I do not know if it is still cash only, but they do not charge taxes, so I assume it is still cash only. Comes with alot of condiments. Mini tacos were good, great amount of grilled onions, and come with radishes as well. The tortilla is a bit thick, wish it was thinner or only given one. flavor wise super good, service is quick and fast. Only tack truck that i see serving birria everyday and for a great price of $10/3! What a steal. I believe all orders comes with beans as well.“

“It was me and my husbands first time here, I’m usually really picky with guacamole so I ordered it on the side but it was so freaking yummy the whole meal was delicious and they played good music ! And they were playing the movie tangled it was overall so amazing ! Including the customer service they are very sweet ! Would 100% recommend:)“

“High pice tag. Probably double of Las palapas but one of the best mexican eateries. Tender beef and the chicken was absolutely amazing. I had just a salad this last round and it was quite possibly one of the better if not best salads I've had in a while.Parking: The number of times I've been parking was not a problem. But there is a number of parking slots.“

“My hubs came home with mini tacos and birria tacos from here tonight and OMG this just became our fav!! Perfectly seasoned, 5/5! They have great attention to detail also with their salsas, cilantro, radish, lime and cucumber on the side and it did not go unnoticed! Would have liked to share a picture but I inhaled them lol.“

“Me, hubby and my adult child ate here while In SA! I got the Salad with chicken. I don't remember the name but Asian style. The chicken in the salad was so tasty and so was the dressing! I'm very finicky about my dressing and my chicken! The guys got chicken strips with different sauces !! Again- I am very finicky about sauces !! I was shocked that I loved all the sauces they got !!! We ordered fried mushrooms and they came with a ranch-dill type dressing SO freaking yummy!! And I don't like ranch dressing!! Give this place a try !! You're sure to like it !!“

“I love coming to this food truck, their food is always hot and on time. Ive tried everything but my favorites are the minitacos, quesobirrea and what more can I say, everything on the menu. So I recommend Tacos regios La Silla. You won't be disappointed.“

“Go here If you’re coming from California and looking for a spot that reminds you of home! The pastor is to die for. Juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. I originally ordered 4 tacos and immediately ran back to the truck to order 8 more. They were that good!“

“Ive been here about 3 or 4 times when I visit SA. I usualy order the lavendar latte but this time i went with the blue magik (i think thats what its called) and it was absolute heaven. I loved it, but friend ordered a bean cheese and egg burrito and was disappointed it had a green tortilla. just told her it was a st. Patrick's day thing so she'd eat it anyway. She said it was good (we were post workout) the girl next to me had a beautiful acai bowl and she agreed it was delish. This place is a little intimidating if you arent used to the ingredients or really know what to order. My friend said she would never have walked in there if she was by herself.“

“This place is an amazing hole in the wall. I was grabbing lunch with a friend who used to work here, and he recommended we stop here for food. The service was great, its a nice little family owned place and they were fast to make the food and very friendly. I got the lonche, and it honestly blew any other hispanic style sandwich I've had out of the water. I had asked what the difference between a lonche and torta was, and my friend let me know that they use different types of bread! The meat was juicy and tender, the bread was toasted just enough, and the whole meal made me want to order a second round.“

“Such great customer service from the ladies in the drive through. They were incredibly polite and generous with the sauces giving me all of them since it was my first time going. The tortillas are ?? and the meat was even better. Sweet tea is super sweet, just like you expect it to be in the south.“

“Something about ordering at the cash register is always a bit weird, but for Torchy’s, it works. Top notch food and excellent beer pours. Margaritas were mixed well, and the patio for hanging with friends for 3 hours was top notch. I have yet to order a dish there that I don’t like.“

“We always come back for a good taco breakfast! Run by a one man that do everything from cooking to taking payment and he’s doing awesome with how the service and quality of the taco.Our favorite is the classic potato and egg and chorizo and their birria taco!Sometimes we caught him still grilling the meat so you know you are getting fresh meat every day.They have small parking lot for I guess it’s meant for takeout but if you decide to eat in the area he also prepared number of chairs and tables and it is covered area.“

“The folks are always amazing and I have always had a great experience when the wife and I visit this place.Food is always good, drinks are good, ice cream is good. The wife and I have never had a bad experience here! The wife and I have highly recommend this place!We will continue to go back as often as possible!“

“The food was alright. It's a good affordable option. What set the place apart was the man that helped us, Vino. He was very patient while I picked out breakfast for my kids, then told me what salsas would be mild enough for them. His overall positive attitude and kindness made my experience great. I would come back just to have my mood lifted by him. What a great employee, made my morning.“

“New fav taco spot! Right down street from my work and food is amazing. I get the street tacos birria and they are delicious with their salsa! I am assuming it is the owners kids that help out and they are so kind/quick on picking up trash after you eat. Good atmosphere and will recommend it to friends and colleagues.“

“We happen to be on this side of town looking for tacos!! We found this little place ....its cozy futbol was on !!! I orderd the guisada with cheese and asada taco .. it had enough salt but id prefer the cheese to be shredded by a block they used the thin shredded cheese seems like it came out of bag... The asada taco was good wife had barbacoa taco it's lean kid 1 had bean n cheese and kid 2 had chorizo plate.. over all if back on this side of town I'd eat their.. sorry no pics of their foodParking: The parking is super limited.. it's jus an observation.“

“Good tacos and good seasoning, the bad thing is that it has very few tables. Another detail is that they close before the established hours, perhaps they argue that they run out of meat but they believe that they should anticipate what is sold on Saturdays so to speak and not close “

“Very delicious food! We ordered nachos, tacos and a quesadilla and it was all really good. They were also selling churro cheesecake which was AMAZING! They had red and green salsas I wish they would’ve been more spicy , but other than that it was really really good! There were about 3 big orders ahead of us and we still got our food fast! We will definitely be back.“

“This place is awesome! We tried the torta VIP, quesadillas asadas, and street tacos al pastor. All were phenomenal. The grilled onions with the tacos were a touch that I didn't know I was missing! (Usually they're served with raw onions) The meats were very flavorful and the torta bread was so soft. You can't go wrong with this truck. I can't wait to try their breakfast tacos.“

“Spotting this place when I came into town driving by on 410. Went back with my Mom the following day. Food is excellent. Their fried rice was a very pleasant surprise and very tasty. Their stuffed shrimp is out of this world. Margarita was excellent. Great addition to the San Antonio seafood scene!“

“By far the best tacos around! We love this place, literally the sweetest group of people! You get 6 mini tacos with cilantro, onion, Fresca, AND an avocado slice on each for 9 dollars, PLUS GRILLED ONIONS!. It’s insane how full they are! We plan date night around picking up these tacos before we head out to do something! The especial beans have SO MUCH FLAVOR!!“

“Excellent!!!! The owner and staff were fantastic and the food was delicious. Every time I come into town this is the first place I come to share with my friends the taste of authentic Tex-Mex Food. This time I truly was excited to try their new Margarita BIG RED. Amazing.What a great welcome home gift…I invite all of you to come and enjoy a true family experience.“

“I was a student at DLI at Lackland AFB and maybe once or twice a month this Foodtruck came for lunch time.I can tell, the food they serve is amazing! Super tasteful mexican food. I loved the Tacos and the Bowl as well as the big variety of sauces.Additionally those people are so friendly! I will miss this foodtruck for sure.“

“Best Barbacoa in town!! And the staff and owner are awesome!! Super friendly service, great food, and overall just a great vibe. This little Barbacoa restaurant is the best in San Antonio!! Go early to avoid the constant traffic. And so they don’t run out before you get that mouth watering barbacoa!!“

“Tamales good...but...in the area where there is food being processed...there is a full size company van parked within feet of the prep tables. No joke. When you visit...take a gander through the windows where you see a garage door. There's people prepping food right next to the delivery van. If the Tamales taste smoky...well you'll know why. I don't think I'm comfortable eating these garage Tamales any more now that I think about what I observed.“

“I will cut right to the chase: if and when I write my San Antonio taco omnibus, if I forget to include this place, you have my full permission to cancel me. This place is incredible.First, I had their frijoles especiales ($3.50). Picture the best bean soup you have ever had, then loaded with even more meat, more savory spices, without heat, and more cheese. These were bar none the best beans I have ever had and I cannot emphasize how much they need to be ordered.The tacos. Oh, the tacos. I didn't know tacos could taste like this. I got their caprichos mixtos (5 street tacos for $10). They were a symphonic mixture of bistek and trompo-cooked pork. The soft and chewy steak, the crispy brick-red pork, amplified by the delicious but not hot spices, the savory cheese, all coming together in a medley of flavors and textures was heavenly. Garnished with some lime wedges, grilled onions, a grilled jalapeno, as well as fresh cilantro and onions, they were amazing. Add in their salsas, both very hot, either a salsa verde or a chili de arbol that punch your taste buds to life, these were easily some of the best tacos I have ever had, certainly the best street tacos by a mile.I cannot praise the food at this place enough. It is a must-try if you are in San Antonio. It is a great dinner option as this taqueria is only open from 5PM to midnight, making it even a late-night destination when you need (yes, NEED) great street tacos and frijoles. Until next time,Stay hungry, my friends!“
